Smart Friends

Can I just say that I love having smart friends! They say the things I'm thinking but can't express very well... or they challenge me to a higher way of thinking if I start slacking... I LOVE IT! Here's an excerpt from Alecia's blog... it was just too good not to post:

"You know what I hate? When I hear people say, "It's when I stopped looking that I found someone." BULLSHIT. Not that it's not true...but in a way it's not. Because until we find someone, we always look. We might as well be honest about it then. A sample of my recent prayers: "God, you know I want someone. You created me to want someone. Help me know what and who I should be looking for. And let me always, always, be satisfied in You first." Because I'm not gonna lie about it. I wanna date. I wanna maybe get married someday. SEX. But...all I can do is own that before Him, you know? Trying to reject it, trying to tell myself that it's wrong or bad or an idol or whatever conservative Christian nonsense tells me it is, is lying. But I can be honest. And I can ask God to make me want Him more. And He will. I mean, why wouldn't he?" -November 29, 2005
